Ok so my gf's dog peed on the carpet and i didnt realize it until i came back a week later. Needless to say the carpet has a huge yellow pee stain even after having it steam cleaned. I need to move out and was wondering if anyone had ideas for covering it up so i can get my security deposit back. Thanks a lot and yes i know its gross, freakin dog but i really want my 1250 back and the carpet was trashed when i moved in so i dont feel too bad

So, how did you not notice until a week later? Where was the dog that week?

 

:ibhere:

 

if it is a light carpet oxiclean the shit out of it.

 

Cut a square from a closet and seat it in the spot where the stain is... They won't know about the closet untill long after you are gone with your cash. :thief:

 

it will be very obvious unless its seemed...

I am a landlord x 27 apartments and my family as a child owned 7 carpet stores...clean it!

<---not a landlord, but has tried to replace chunks of carpet twice - didn't look right either time. clean it FTW.

 

Even if you don't get that stain off you still get some of your security deposit back (1250-whatever the cost for them to clean it up). I would recommend you to clean up much as you can.

 

Clean it, trust us.

 

Have the dog pee all over the rest of the carpet so it'll blend.

 

:shakehead

 

hahahahahahaha

 

Get a good carpet cleaner, one that has enzymes in it like Nature's Miracle, and scrub and steam clean

 

^ girl advice > guy advice

 

 

i literally did this hilarious!

 

If you can't get it cleaned this is the best idea. I'd exhaust all of your cleaning ideas 1st though...

Buy a carpet knife. Use either a piece of plywood of a metal sign as guide. Cut out the squares and swap them. You won't even be able to tell you did it... definitely use a something as a guide though they need to be cut identical; if you try free hand cutting it won't work well.

 

we moved last weekend and my cat decided the berber in our basement made a nice new litterbox. luckily Resolve got the stains out, i'm hoping it got the odors out too.

the cat is 1-strike away from being hung from the tree as Coydog bait.

 

oh, btw... resolve foaming high-traffic spray worked... the resolve for pets just made it worse.

 

...and make sure when you put the new carpet down, you have the 'grain' going correctly. all carpets have a direction that the carpet tends to lay. If you lay all the carpet one way: //////////// and the old carpet is the other way:\\\\\\\\\\ it'll be pretty obvious when someone vacuums it: \\\\\\\\///////\\\\\\\\\

(nice visuals, huh )

 

kitty is trying to tell you something... perhaps watch him/her a little better. might be sick or upset about something.

 

so how'd it turn out?
